Chapter 228 The Lord of the Planes and the Core of Life
Upon hearing this, Yun Ming shook his head, feeling that Long Yeyue's thoughts were too dark.
Although the Spirit Pagoda is a competitor of Shrek Academy, it wouldn't stoop to such a despicable act.
He transmitted his voice, "It shouldn't be. Let's see how he goes next."
Long Yeyue frowned, and opened her mouth as if to say something.
But seeing Yun Ming's confident expression, he ultimately remained silent.
Her gaze fell again, landing on the figure of the young man below.
At this moment, Huo Yuhao felt warm all over his body, the warmth spreading from his chest to his limbs, as if he were soaking in a hot spring.
As the golden heart throbbed within his chest, he felt as if he had entered a special space.
Huo Yuhao opened his eyes and found himself in a separate space. The space was not large, and the surroundings were all golden.
The gold was rich and pure, like liquid gold flowing, radiating a warm and sacred light.
At this moment, standing before Huo Yuhao was an old man dressed in white robes.
His face was old, his beard and hair were all white, and his hair was so long that it reached his heels.
His face was covered with wrinkles, each one telling a story of the vicissitudes of time.
Looking at his face, it was indeed exactly the same as the "Old Jin" I had seen ten thousand years ago.
Huo Yuhao remained calm and called out, "Elder Jin!"
A flicker of surprise crossed the old man's eyes. He looked at Huo Yuhao with a hint of doubt: "You...know me?"
Looking at the familiar stranger opposite him, Huo Yuhao said, "I met Elder Jin ten thousand years ago, and it was Elder Jin who gave me the Golden Heart."
Upon hearing this, a thoughtful expression appeared on Old Jin's aged face.
His brows furrowed slightly, and a glint of light flickered in his cloudy old eyes, as if he were trying to recall something.
After a moment, his voice held a hint of confusion: "Child, in my memory, I have never seen you ten thousand years ago."
His memory spans tens of thousands of years; he remembers every single event and every single person clearly.
But he searched through his memories and could not find the boy's figure.
Huo Yuhao smiled and said, "That's because the 10,000 years ago I was referring to was 10,000 years ago in another world."
Seeing the confusion on Elder Jin's face, Huo Yuhao continued to explain, "Simply put, I possess the ability to travel from the present to ten thousand years ago."
"However, that ten thousand years ago was ten thousand years ago in another world. What happened ten thousand years ago will not affect the present ten thousand years from now."
The fewer people who know about my ability to travel through ten thousand years, the better.
This is his biggest secret, and also his deepest trump card.
However, Elder Jin was one of the "people" that Huo Yuhao trusted more.
After all, because of Tang San's mother's situation, Jin Yong wouldn't take the initiative to contact the people at Shrek Academy, and people outside could hardly ever see him.
So even if Jin Yong knew this secret, he probably wouldn't reveal it.
Upon hearing Huo Yuhao's explanation, Elder Jin's pupils contracted slightly, clearly indicating that he was quite shocked.
If it were someone else, they probably wouldn't easily believe it even if Huo Yuhao said it to their face.
Traveling through time and space—that's perhaps a realm only gods can reach.
But Mr. Jin believed it; his golden heart was not to be faked.
If it weren't for this reason, how could there be two golden hearts in the world?
He then exclaimed with emotion, "Truly a chosen one! 'Douluo: Huo Yuhao's Dual Transmigration into the Peerless Dragon King' is currently being serialized and is not to be missed! What an incredible opportunity!"
Upon hearing this, Huo Yuhao thought to himself, "Just as I thought."
Jin Lao, ten thousand years ago, saw that he was the chosen one, and Jin Lao, ten thousand years later, indeed saw it at a glance as well.
He observed Elder Jin opposite him, whose aura was noticeably weaker than when he had met him "last time".
A hint of worry flashed in Huo Yuhao's eyes as he asked, "Elder Jin, how have you been these past ten thousand years? Is the Blue Silver Emperor still devouring your life force?"
Old Jin looked at Huo Yuhao, a hint of tenderness flashing in his cloudy old eyes.
He sighed, a sigh filled with weariness and helplessness.
"It seems I was really lucky in the other world to meet you ten thousand years earlier."
After saying that, he shook his head and gave a bitter smile, lamenting, "Now I am already 'twilight years old,' and it won't be long before I am completely consumed by it."
Upon hearing this, Huo Yuhao's expression changed.
He held the old man who had given him the golden heart ten thousand years ago in the highest esteem.
Unexpectedly, Jin Lao ultimately could not escape his fate of being devoured, and Tang San's plan was about to succeed.
Looking at Huo Yuhao's expression, Jin Yong smiled with a touch of magnanimity and said, "There's no need to feel sorry for me. At least now I know that I have a self in another world, and I have the possibility of changing my destiny."
Huo Yuhao opened his mouth, wanting to say that he could help him too, but in the end he didn't say it.
Because he knew that he was facing not an ordinary person, but a god!
The sea god who is praised by everyone on the mainland!
Although his current strength far surpasses that of his peers, he still feels a deep sense of powerlessness when facing a god!
Seeing Huo Yuhao's silence, Elder Jin smiled with relief: "Good child, don't be sad for me. Your appearance has already shown that things have begun to change."
As he spoke, Old Jin's kind face suddenly changed, becoming serious.
The smile faded from that aged face, replaced by an unprecedented solemnity.
He said, "Child, everything I'm about to say is very important, and you must remember it clearly."
Upon hearing this, Huo Yuhao's expression turned serious.
Although he didn't know what Mr. Jin was going to say next, he nodded solemnly.
Jin Lao then said, "There's something I didn't tell you about my counterpart from another world ten thousand years ago, because it's something I only realized three thousand years ago."
"Now, not only am I, as the core of life, facing a problem in Douluo Continent, but even the Lord of the Plane is facing a crisis."
Huo Yuhao frowned even deeper, and asked with a puzzled look, "Elder Jin, what is a Plane Master?"
In his previous studies, he had never heard the term "plane master".
Therefore, he had no concrete idea of what the name represented.
Jin Lao explained: "The core of life is the core of the plane's vitality, representing gestation and nourishment."
"The Lord of a Plane is the embodiment of the will of the plane, representing rules and balance."
"The plane master and the life core are the two core elements that support the operation of the Douluo plane. They complement each other and are indispensable."
"Three thousand years ago, I received a distress message from the Lord of the Planes, which clearly indicated that something was wrong with him as well."
Looking at Huo Yuhao, an air of seriousness appeared in Jin Lao's cloudy eyes: "Its condition is perhaps the same as mine!"
Huo Yuhao's pupils suddenly contracted, as if he had thought of something.
"Old Jin, are you saying that the problem with the plane's ruler was also caused by Tang San?!"
